Check out the Water Resources IMPACT Journal

The American Water Resources Association journal Water Resources IMPACT provides articles addressing many thematic water resource management issues.

The archived editions (pre-2004) are available online at no charge - go to http://www.awra.org/impact/ . More recent issues are only available to members of the society. The archived articles are worth looking through.
